ProcureCon Pharma is coming to Philadelphia for the 2016 conference
starting on October 26! The three day event attracts procurement and strategic sourcing professionals from industry leading pharmaceutical companies including
AstraZeneca, Otsuka, Bristol-Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline, and more for
engaging sessions addressing the unique challenges facing pharma procurement
groups. Attendees anticipate a full agenda of panels, workshops, and
roundtables designed to provide procurement professionals with strategies for
managing costs and driving value in procurement and sourcing processes.

The first day of ProcureCon Pharma will exclusively welcome
procurement executives to discuss using procurement to drive value in today’s
fluctuating pharmaceutical industry. The following day focuses on strengthening
internal and external partnerships to further today’s procurement organization
and the final day of the event will examine the future of procurement and what
to expect when preparing for the needs of your business down the road. Between
presentations from industry leaders including Johnson and Johnson, Takeda
Pharmaceuticals, and Boehringer Ingelheim USA, and more, daily panel
discussions and roundtables generate progressive conversation that continue
during networking opportunities in the evening.

Among the roster of anticipated speakers is Source One’s Director
David Pastore. Pastore’s session, titled From Savings...to Value, will explore the ways Procurement groups can
demonstrate their value beyond cost reduction. Procurement has evolved passed a tactical purchasing role, and is quickly being leveraged as a strategic
function for achieving overarching company-wide goals. As a result, companies
need to reevaluate their approach to measuring Procurement's performance and communicating their
success. Pastore will share how capitalizing on the growing discipline of data
science for procurement can teach your team to exhibit progress on management-driven
procurement and sourcing goals.
